The so-called Lifetime Review of the National Social Security Institute (INSS), can increase the amount of the benefit that the insured receives up to six times. This is because, until then, the calculations considered the average salary of the worker as of July 1994. But the rule has changed.
The Superior Court of Justice (STJ) determined the inclusion of all the amounts referred to the contribution in the calculation of INSS benefits. Now, the insured who meets the requirements, and who previously obtained the retirement floor, will be able to receive the Social Security ceiling. This represents a increase up to 485% in the benefit amount.
In addition to pensions, Lifetime review it can also be claimed in other cases, such as a death pension or sickness benefit. According to experts, more than 2,000 people can be seen with the review.
Lifetime review
Those who retired after 1999 with higher wages before 1994 and who reduced the value of contributions or stopped paying contributions after that period, can request a recalculation.
However, it should be noted that the new rule depends on several factors, such as, for example, who started self-employment before July 1994 and, therefore, stopped contributing to Social Security.
In this case, according to the previous rule, the amount of the benefit was limited to a minimum wage, since the calculation was made based solely on wages after this period. With lifetime review, all wages are considered and may even reach the maximum value of the INSS.
However, it is noteworthy that only policyholders who have had the benefit granted in the past 10 years they can request the review. To request the new calculation, it is recommended to make the order first in the INSS, through an internal process, and then send the request to the Court.
If the insured wins the action, in addition to the higher value benefit, he will also be entitled to arrears. That is, values referring to the delay in responding to the review request.
